“Apply with LinkedIn” Job application bUTTON

LinkedIn will launch a button for employers’ websites called “Apply With LinkedIn” that allows job candidates to submit their LinkedIn profiles as resumes, according to a report.

Aside from making it easier for candidates to apply for jobs, the plugin uses applicants’ data to automatically sort candidates for the employer. If a company wants more than a LinkedIn profile to vet candidates, it can use additional questions from a template, add customized questions or request a cover letter. Submissions can be sent to an email address, a URL or JavaScript callback.
